Thank you for participating in #StE18!

Join the biggest Resistance Event that has ever taken place

Smurf the Earth 2018

Join us for the biggest global Resistance event ever!

Compete with agents in your country and around the world in stats competitions and win respect and prizes! Who will be top smurf?

Through the years of this epic competition it has grown and grown. StE started as a local contest in and around Vienna, Austria back in 2013, the next year it got its first international participants and in 2015 nearly 6000 agents took part, gaining 3.8 billion ap and 1.9 billion mu in the process. Check the sitrep! In 2017, Smurf the Earth joined forces with The Grid, and over 8000 agents particpated in this global event.

Every participating smurf tried to win. Agents played longer, harder and more organized than before. Farms were built in regions which had never seen a farm before, just to replenish item stocks. Agents organised trips to ENL areas with pure force, leaving behind destruction and grinning faces. EVERYONE fielded! EVERYONE modded! EVERYONE (ok, nearly EVERYONE) recharged! Some even tried glyphing!

FAQ

What is Smurf The Earth?

Smurf the Earth is a global competition open to all RES Ingress players. Agents compete in many different categories to see who comes out on top. The competition takes place in the 1st and 3rd week of July 2018, so you have two opportunities to do your best. Stats are recorded via “The Grid” which is a res only stats tool.

Important - This is not a Niantic contest, it is organised by Resistance players for Resistance players.

Who can take part? Is this just for experts, ap players or field players?

Any RES agent can take part! Old or young, new or retired! Please invite your friends to take part! Whatever your Ingress style there is a category for you, there are around 40 different categories for different play styles. Even if you’re a lazy player there’s a category for you.

How do I win?

Get out and play Ingress as much as you can during the weeks involved, and upload your stats to The Grid! There are lots of different categories which are won separately. The categories are not simple like “resonators destroyed” they are complex formulas and combinations of stats, and even some fun categories.

Do I get a Grid badge for this? Do I get a scanner medal?

Everyone gets a badge on The Grid for taking part! Winners will get a cooler medal. Unfortunately we cannot provide a scanner medal, unless Niantic wants to help. Some agents might make Mission banners related to Smurf the Earth.
